Boxing: Title bid for Norman

Shepshed flyweight Louis '2 Sweet' Norman is being lined up for an English-title defence in Leicestershire next month.

The 20-year-old slickster has been matched with Liverpool's Anthony Smith in a clash of unbeatens at Hermitage Leisure Centre on September 28.

Promoter Clifton Mitchell will discover in the next couple of weeks if boxing bosses will sanction the fight for the St Georges belt.

Manager Mike Shinfield said the plan was for Norman to box Phil Smith, but when he realised the date clashed with his holiday, his twin brother Anthony, who has won all five of his fights, stepped in instead.

For Norman, it will be his first fight since being held to a draw by Don Broadhurst in an English-title defence in May.

Also on the show, Jahmaine Smyle, the Leicester powerhouse, meets Cello Renda in an eliminator for the English super-middleweight title, and Loughborough welterweight Sam Sharpe will also be matched.
